Ajax have already sealed the signings of Razvan Marin, Kik Pierie and Kjell Scherpen for this summer and they are now turning their attention to Ødegaard.

According to VI, Ajax are convinced about the Norwegian’s qualities and see him as a perfect replacement for Hakim Ziyech, who is expected to depart Amsterdam this summer.

The 22-year-old still has a contract with Real Madrid until 2021 but is currently on loan with Vitesse Arnhem. It is uncertain what Real Madrid’s plans for the midfielder are but several Spanish clubs are ready to battle Ajax for his signature should they opt to sell him.
